September 1, 2013

Ipsos Polled 18,000 People in 24 Countries to Discover the Best Cities

It started with a simple question: "Based on what you have seen yourself, or heard about from others, which three cities in the world do you think are the best to... (a) do business in (b) live in (c) visit?"

After polling 18,147 individuals online in 24 countries, The Ipsos Cities Survey concluded that overall the world does really love New York, followed by London, Paris, Abu Dhabi, and Sydney. Zurich was named the world's best city to live, while New York was voted the top city for business. Paris was the best city to visit.
